Open country, probably former clear-cuts, in the mountains at about 10,000 feet. There is a series of FS roads that wind through valleys and ridges and meet in this clearing. The clearing is big, probably about a section, but it has a couple hills (one right in the middle) that break 200 feet. The clearing is one side of an even larger drainage. The idea was that I could hit a high point, shoot a bearing to my objective and hike to it. Or I could locate my self on the map plot a bearing and walk it to the clearing. If I got lost I could get on top of something or use the GPS and a little template to determine my position and then plot a course back to the clearing.
